Giants Trade Lawrence, Grab Mauigoa for Offensive Line Boost

About this episode

The New York Giants, led by General Manager Joe Schoen, made a strategic move by trading All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati for the tenth overall pick. They used this pick to draft Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman Francis Sisi Mauigoa, a six-foot-five, three-hundred-thirty-pound player with elite pass-blocking skills. Mauigoa, who allowed just one sack in over two hundred pass sets last year, will start at guard, providing solid depth up front alongside Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor. The Giants believe Mauigoas versatility and past injury history, now managed by their new trainer, make him a valuable addition to their offensive line, setting up a physical line that could benefit their offense immediately and in the long term.

Miami Hurricanes' offensive line in Francis CC, Mauigoa, instead of rushing to replace him on defense. His 6-foot-5, 330-pound beast, fits right into new head coach John Harbaugh's vision for a tough, aggressive offense, bringing elite pass blocking skills with just one sack, allowed in over 200 pass sets last year. Fans might have won a more picks back for Lawrence, but Mauigoa could plug in day one, especially with Andrew Thomas locked in through 20. 29, and remain a Louis Mooner, resigned for three years at right tackle. More manager Joe Shone plans to slide him inside a guard to start, praising his versatility to bump out to tackle if needed, and they're cool. With his pass injury, thanks to Insight from their new trainer, who knew him at Miami.
